The Velvet Note

Showtimes: 7:30p and 9:30p. Lori Williams doesn’t simply sing a song—she inhabits it. An internationally acclaimed jazz vocalist with more than three decades of performance, recording and music-education experience, Williams brings a rare combination of sophistication, sensuality and emotional truth to the stage. Her voice moves effortlessly from the elegance of traditional jazz to the warmth of soul and contemporary grooves, and her career has taken her from celebrated jazz rooms and festivals across the United States to stages throughout Europe, Japan and the Caribbean. Along the way, she has performed and collaborated with an extraordinary roster of artists including Stanley Clarke, Nathan East, George Duke, Peabo Bryson, Norman Brown and Terri Lyne Carrington.
But Lori Williams’ influence extends well beyond the microphone. A respected educator, mentor, songwriter, producer and advocate for the music, she currently serves as a Governor on the Atlanta Chapter Board of the Recording Academy—the organization behind the GRAMMY Awards. On Friday, October 30th, The Velvet Note welcomes Lori into one of the most intimate listening rooms in America, where every breath, every lyric and every beautifully bent note can be experienced up close. This isn’t background music. This is Lori Williams—close enough to feel every song.
Happens on the following Dates:

Previously October 22nd – 24th. SHOWTIMES: 7:30PM &amp; 9:30PM. Every once in a while, an opportunity comes along that reminds me why I built The Velvet Note in the first place. This is one of those weekends. Our Signature Series welcomes guitarist Oz Noy, one of the most original voices in contemporary jazz and fusion, joined by legendary drummer Dave Weckl and brilliant Hammond B-3 master Brian Charette. Individually, each of these musicians has earned the respect of audiences and fellow artists around the world. Together, they create something that’s spontaneous, fearless, and impossible to predict. It’s the kind of music that can only happen when extraordinary musicians trust each other enough to take chances—and invite us along for the ride. About the musicians:
Oz Noy Internationally acclaimed guitarist known for blending jazz, blues, funk, and rock into a uniquely original style. Has performed and recorded with artists including Eric Johnson, Mike Stern, Richard Bona, and Vinnie Colaiuta.
Dave Weckl Widely regarded as one of the most influential drummers of the modern era and a longtime member of the Chick Corea Elektric Band. Multiple Modern Drummer magazine award winner whose recordings and educational materials have inspired generations of drummers worldwide.
Brian Charette Grammy-nominated Hammond B-3 organist celebrated for redefining the role of the jazz organ in contemporary music. Has performed and recorded with leading artists including Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, and many of today’s top jazz musicians.
What makes this event even more remarkable is where you’ll experience it. In most cities, a trio of this caliber would be performing in a concert hall where you’d be watching from fifty or a hundred feet away. At The Velvet Note, you’ll experience every note, every smile, every glance between the musicians from just a few feet away. That’s exactly what our Signature Series is all about—bringing internationally acclaimed artists into an intimate setting where the audience becomes part of the performance. If you love exceptional musicianship, unforgettable moments, and the thrill of hearing music that will never be played exactly the same way again, I hope you’ll join us October 22nd, 23rd, or 24th. Seating is extremely limited, and I fully expect these performances to sell out.Happens on the following Dates:
<ul><li>Feb 25, 2027, 9:30pm to 11:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Feb 26, 2027, 7:30pm to 9:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Feb 26, 2027, 9:30pm to 11:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li><li>Feb 27, 2027, 9:30pm to 11:00pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)</li></ul>
